T0 aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DAVID W. GRANBERY, a citizen of the United States, residing at East Orange, in the county of Essex and State ofNew Jersey, have invented a newand useful Lamp- Stand, of which the following is aspecification, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawing, which is made a part of the same.

The object of the invention is to produce an article of furniture which will serve the twofold purpose of a table and lamp-stand. Further, to provide such a device of simple and cheap construction which will be neat and attractive in appearance.

A further object of the invention is to provide a lamp stand which will permit the lamp to be adjusted vertically in order to bring the light near the table or far from it, as may be found desirable and convenient.

To attain the desired objects the invention may be stated, briefi y, to consist in a table p rovided with a support between its legs, a tube supported at its lower end in said support and projecting upward through the top of the table, a standard carrying a lamp received by said tube, and means in the tube for retaining the standard at any desired point; and, further, in the novel construction, combination, and adaptation of the parts comprising the device, as hereinafter described and claimed.

In the drawing, A represents a table, which may be of any desirable size'or form, having the supporting-legs a, to which are secured the ends of crossbraces a; B, a tube extending vertically through the top of said table and attached thereto by suitable fastenings. The lower closed end of said tube is secured at the points of intersection of said cross-braces.

O is a lamp, which may also be of any pattern, attached to or connected with a rod or tube, D, said rod being of a size to fit the tube B and be readily raised or lowered within the same.

In the tube B, I place a set-screw, b, to bear against the rod D and make it fast at any No model.)

point within said tube B, so that the distance between the light and the table may be graduated to suit the comfort and convenience of those using the same.

It is preferable to have the tube 13 extend through the table for the purpose of more easily and firmly securing the same to the table; but it is obvious that the advantages inherent in my invention would be obtained with, perhaps, a diminution in degree and durability if the tube were provided with a foot to be fastened to the top of the table,which top might be perforated or not, and in the arrangemtnt the posi ions of tube and rod might be reversed and the tube fastened to the lamp and the rod to the table, and instead of the cross'braces a there may be a single piece between thelegs, forming asupport, which may be made to serve as a shelf. I do not, therefore, confine myself to the exact method of making the combination of lamp and table shown and described.

I am aware that lamp stands have been made with one or more telescopic tubes, by which the lamp might be raised or lowered. I do not, therefore, claim, broadly, an extensionstand for a lamp; but

WVhat I do claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. The combination, with the lamp stand ard, of the tube and the stand consisting of the top having an opening through it, legs, and a support serving to brace the legs and sustain the tube, substantially as described.

2. The combination, with the lampstaudard, of the stand comprising the top having an opening through it, the legs, and a support serving to brace the legs, and of the tube pass ing through the top and sustained upon the support, the standard being vertically adjustable in the tube, substantially as described.
